Best French toast I’ve had. Eggs where warm and perfect texture. Hash browns where exquisite just the perfect amount of golden brown, not burnt, not one single hash was out of order. Biscuits where bussin with gravy that exploded with pepper! Best breakfast in town, worth every penny I spent!

Great food. Top notch service! The hostess and our server were very engaging. The hostess had a back and forth game of tic tac toe with our son.
Very friendly atmosphere and made us feel at home.
Definitely a recommended diner in the Bellevue/Seattle area.

Overpriced cafeteria food. Ordered the special, Eggs Benedict, coffee and french toast. The Eggs Benedict were $22 for a really subpar dish. The eggs were on top of slices over ham, over the biscuit, which wasn’t mentioned. I don’t eat ham, took it out. The sauce was not tasty, though the eggs were done nicely. The french toast was not good at all. Even the coffee was bad. Not coming back. There’s a much better breakfast place, not far down the road, which usually has a wait. Wish we had gone there.

The next time you consider an excursion to Bellevue Square, drive past it about 5-10 minutes until you reach the unassuming strip mall that houses the welcoming Brief Encounter Cafe.
Check their hours, they close at 2pm, and it’s a smaller, quaint cafe, with a broad menu, attentive service, and tasty offerings.
Biscuits are tricky and I would opt for toast in future but that is a trifle. The omelette and has browns were fresh and bursting with flavor.
The friendly service was prompt and genuine.
A $50 check for two is about the going rate with beverages (coffee) that was regularly refilled, without asking g.

Like we do, woke up in the morning and started looking for a place to grab some breakfast/brunch.
We found this place, had some good rating, nothing fancy and we decided on this place.
The place was crowded but we didn’t have to wait for seating. The staff is really friendly.
As far as the food is concerned, it was good, nothing spectacular, I felt like the eggs and hash browns probably could use more seasoning.
Check out pictures for more info.

I grabbed quick breakfast over here.
This place is in the back of the gas station, so watch out first timers.
I really like the food and staffs are auper friendly. I would definitley recommend it.
Would be not easy to find parking spot if its peak hours.

Literally the worst biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had in my life, the gravy was extremely underwhelming and not made right in the biscuits were old, and it was way overpriced for the quality.

If you’re a regular here, I’m sure it’s great. If not, prepare to be ignored.
Took my order, served my food, never checked on me once. Waited ten minutes before having to flag someone down for a coffee refill. Never got more jam for my biscuit or extra napkins I’d asked for. Servers were too busy chatting with the regulars.
Ordered the chicken fried steak because it said “smothered in sausage gravy.” It was not. It came with regular country gravy. No sausage.

Got huevo rancheros and French toast. The huevo rancheros is below average, it doesn’t have chip on the bottom, but tortilla on the side. Also, the pico on top is meh.
So average, i can make better food at home.

Tastes like home cooking! This little gem of a place is tucked away beside QFC & I never noticed it before but the food is fabulous. Highly recommended.
